Korean Sauce
Ingredients: For 1 serving: -light soy sauce (about 50 ml) -1 tablespoon onion -1 large clove of garlic -1/2 teaspoon chili pepper
To prepare a savory and healthy appetizer, we start by making a delicious sauce that will perfectly complement the vegetable meatballs. In a small bowl, we mix soy sauce with finely chopped green onion, minced chili pepper, and crushed garlic. It is essential that all the ingredients are well integrated so that the flavors blend harmoniously. This combination will provide a spicy and savory note that will enhance the taste of the meatballs.
Once the sauce is ready, we turn our attention to the vegetable meatballs. These can be made from a variety of vegetables such as carrots, zucchini, eggplant, and broccoli. Cut your favorite vegetables into small cubes and sauté them in a pan with a little olive oil until they become tender and slightly golden. After the vegetables have cooled, add a beaten egg, breadcrumbs, and your favorite spices, such as salt, pepper, and herbs. Mix the composition well until you obtain a homogeneous paste, which you will shape into meatballs.
In a deep pan, heat the oil over medium heat, then fry the meatballs until they become golden and crispy on the outside. It is important not to overcrowd the pan so that each meatball has enough space to fry evenly. Once they are ready, remove the meatballs onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Serve the meatballs hot, tearing pieces off with your hands and dipping them into the previously prepared sauce. This method adds extra flavor, and the combination of textures – crispy on the outside and soft on the inside – will delight your taste buds. Additionally, if you prefer, you can use chopsticks to enjoy this exotic dish. It is an ideal recipe for parties, gatherings with friends, or simply to bring a splash of color and flavor to everyday meals. Vegetable meatballs with soy sauce and garlic are not only delicious but also healthy, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking for a balanced diet.
